whadda yall think?

I love it.

Looks great!!

how did you do that???
paint it by yourself or take it to a pro shop?

DARN that looks nice yeah I would like to know did you take it to a proshop or did you do this your self... if so how much did it cost (suppies and the like ) and how much time did it take


J- :twisted: :twisted:

See the thread under "Do it yourself" for the particulars... but cost-wise I got lucky. My boss has a friend at the local ford dealership who does bodywork. He charged me $75 to sand and paint the panels all supplies included! I got lucky on the trim peices too. I've made a friend with my local Honda parts counter guy. He sold me the meter trim, and the center panel trim for $110 which is well under retail. They were very easy to install with the included , sturdy double-sided foam tape

Damn that looks amazing. What is the part number of the meter trim? I've never seen that style.

bone

My E is jealous. So am I.

ervenwill,

Think you can hook us up with that deal on the meter and center panel trim?? Let's make it a group buy special!! :D

Nevermind the panels... (they look nice though) Tell me about that Bracketron iPod holder!!

I can't find their website anywhere. How is it mounted? Is it permanent? Does it require drilling? etc... etc...

Any help here would be hot. Thanks.

EDIT- FOUND THEIR SITE FINALLY. Thanks.

Seems like that wouldnt be so hard to find...heh... But it never came up in Google for me.

damn, that does look good 8)

i was reading the instructions for the install (http://www.bracketron.com/xmain/manuals/HON-201-03.pdf) and it seems like you need a "dash trim tool." is that included with the kit? if not where did you get one?

thanks,
mborkow

a screwdriver with a cloth over it does the trick if you are doing the install the way i did

dude, that looks GREAT.
Wonder how mine would look orange?

Dang SilverSI,
I'm really diggin' your Civic SI and body kit. Makes me wish I got a Civic instead. :P

But I still love my E. Just too bad I can't dress it up the same way
